Franklin D. Roosevelt Typed Letter Signed as President

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, November 29, 1940. Letter to Governor A. Harry Moore of New Jersey, in full: "It was good to get your letter of November 27, and to hear that you are ready to dedicate the Thomas Alva Edison bridge. I am sorry that I can not be present at these ceremonies, but if my present plans work out I expect to be on a brief vacation in the South on the fourteenth. Will you please be good enough to extend my sincere greetings to all those attending the dedication ceremonies," with handwritten addition: "and especially to the Gov-Elect!" In very good to fine condition, with short splits to the ends of the three horizontal folds, a small stain to the lower left corner, and light soiling and toning to the edges. New Jersey's "Gov-Elect" was Charles Edison, the great inventor's son, who had served as Secretary of the Navy in FDR's administration. An excellent association between great Americans.
